Barcelona vs Shakhtar Donetsk Predictions

• Barcelona have won to nil in their two Champions League games so far
• The hosts have won three of their last four matches to nil
• The Catalans have won to nil in five of their six home games this term
• The home side have kept a clean sheet in 10 of their last 12 home matches

Can Barca continue perfect start?

Barcelona have won two from two in this Champions League group, putting an end to a few years of struggle in this competition. The Spanish champions have also looked good in the league and they sit just a point shy of top spot ahead of Saturday’s Clasico.

Barca are hoping to continue their perfect start in Europe in Wednesday’s clash with Shakhtar Donetsk. The visitors lost their opener at home to Porto and while they rallied at Antwerp earlier this month, a visit to Barcelona looks like a tall order.

Hosts a cut-above

Barcelona should prove too strong for the visitors, especially heading into this clash off the back of three wins in four. The hosts have won each of those games to nil, while they have yet to concede a goal in this group having beaten Antwerp 5-0 and Porto 1-0.

The Spanish champions have won to nil in five of their six home games this term, while they’ve kept a clean sheet in 10 of their last 12 home games. While the visitors won their last European outing, Barca look incredibly well organised and Xavi finally has them making progress in Europe, so back a home win to nil.
